arms or swing? (explanation got it long)

Should I put LO in the swing to nap or keep holding her? In the swing I've been lucky to get a 30 min nap, but in my arms she can go triple that because I can rock her back to sleep when she starts fussing.

A rested baby is a happy baby and she does stay happier longer after the good naps. I started this because she was starting to sleep less over night, taking fewer naps, and getting super cranky. Now she's waking during the night, but I don't know if it's a coincidence. I'm really seesawing on this because she's so much better during the day napping in my arms! What do you think I should do?

Do what works for you. My LO has always napped in my arms. I don't bother laying him down. At night, I rock him and put him in his crib. He sleeps half the night in his crib and the other half in bed with me.
